Very delicious! I made this to top my carrot bundt cake, a recipe I got also from Epicurious. I found the icing to be light, fragrant, and tasty. I like the ability to make it more or less sweet, depending on taste. I also used the extra icing as a fruit salad dip. Be forewarned though, do not use heavy whipping cream, because it makes the icing too think and less pourable. I made that mistake, but I ended up just spooning the icing over the bundt cake. It wasn't pretty, but it sure was delicious. My husband, who is not a big fan of lemony things, even liked it!

I made this to frost a lemon cake that I made with a gluten free mix that I like. This was really good and very easy. I used a local organic cream cheese with an excellent flavor and Eureka (not Meyer) lemons, and it was outstanding. I did not use as much cream, since the cream cheese doesn't have the gumminess of Philly cream cheese and is softer.

This frosting is delicous and easy to
make. I used it to frost a chocolate
zuchini cake and it turned out great! I
think the key is to use good
vanilla....I used vanilla from a trip
to Mexico. The taste was outstanding.

Yummy! Perfectly tart, not to sweet or overwhelming. I used one lemon for the zest and juice and didn't measure, but it looked like the same amount the recipe called for. I will definitely be making this again.

This a delicious
cake and absolutely
worth making every
week, only to
discover that after
an hour or so after
serving it is gone!
I did add a few more
carrots and was also
generous with the
nuts and the lemon
ingredients for the
icing. Really
lovely, thank
you!
